It is unlikely that ISPs are going to provide CPE that doesn't firewall incoming connections by default, even if it issues devices on the LAN real public IPv6 addresses.
- Johnny555 9y agoAbout as unlikely as ISP's providing Wifi routers that default to open with no WPA password as used to be common? They'll do whatever makes support easiest until they are forced to do otherwise by regulation or bad press.
- mmagin 9y agoThe first (2010-vintage Apple Airport Extreme) and second (2017-vintage TP-Link something something) I'd done IPv6 with behaved this way by default if you enabled IPv6. I don't see why Comcast or AT&T would likely do worse. Sure they could, but this is not the likely scenario.
- Johnny555 9y agoThen I imagine you don't have much experience with Comcast or AT&T if you don't see why they'd do worse than Apple.
